These (individuals), greatly delighted, used to narrate various humorous stories concerning the great-souled (mahātman) Rāghava.
ततः कथायां कस्यां चिद् राघवः समभाषत ।

Then, during one of the stories, Rāghava said, "O venerable one, what stories are circulating in the city and its surrounding regions?"
मामाश्रितानि कान्याहुः पौरजानपदा जनाः ।
किं च सीतां समाश्रित्य भरतं किं नु लक्ष्मणम् ॥५॥
किं च सीतां समाश्रित्य भरतं किं नु लक्ष्मणम् ॥५॥

ca sītām samāśritya bharatam kim nu lakṣmaṇam
ca sītām samāśritya bharatam kim nu lakṣmaṇam
5.
What do the citizens and rural folk say about matters concerning me? And what do they say regarding Sītā, or Bharata, or Lakṣmaṇa?
किं नु शत्रुघ्नमाश्रित्य कैकेयीं मातरं च मे ।
वक्तव्यतां च राजानो नवे राज्ये व्रजन्ति हि ॥६॥
वक्तव्यतां च राजानो नवे राज्ये व्रजन्ति हि ॥६॥

kim nu śatrughnam āśritya kaikeyīm mātaram ca me
hi rājānaḥ nave rājye ca vaktavyatām vrajanti
hi rājānaḥ nave rājye ca vaktavyatām vrajanti
6.
Or concerning Śatrughna, and my mother Kaikeyī? Indeed, royal family members incur criticism in a new kingdom.
एवमुक्ते तु रामेण भद्रः प्राञ्जलिरब्रवीत् ।

When Rāma had spoken thus, Bhadra, with folded hands, said: 'O King, auspicious stories are current among the city dwellers.'
अयं तु विजयः सौम्य दशग्रीववधाश्रितः ।
भूयिष्ठं स्वपुरे पौरैः कथ्यते पुरुषर्षभ ॥८॥

vijayaḥ bhūyiṣṭham svapure pauraiḥ kathyate
vijayaḥ bhūyiṣṭham svapure pauraiḥ kathyate
8.
O gentle one, this victory, which is based on the slaying of Daśagrīva, is mostly recounted by the city dwellers in our own city, O best of men.
एवमुक्तस्तु भद्रेण राघवो वाक्यमब्रवीत् ।

9.
Addressed thus by Bhadra, Rama (rāghava) spoke these words: 'Please tell me everything truthfully and completely, without holding anything back.'
शुभाशुभानि वाक्यानि यान्याहुः पुरवासिनः ।
श्रुत्वेदानीं शुभं कुर्यां न कुर्यामशुभानि च ॥१०॥

10.
I will perform auspicious deeds now and avoid inauspicious ones, after hearing the good and bad statements made by the city dwellers.

And speak confidently, fearlessly, and without anxiety, just as the citizens and people in the rural areas speak.
राघवेणैवमुक्तस्तु भद्रः सुरुचिरं वचः ।

12.
Addressed thus by Rama (rāghava), Bhadra, with folded hands and great composure, replied with very charming words to the great-armed one.
शृणु राजन्यथा पौराः कथयन्ति शुभाशुभम् ।
चत्वरापणरथ्यासु वनेषूपवनेषु च ॥१३॥

Listen, O king, to what the citizens are saying, both good and bad, in the town squares, market places, and streets, as well as in the forests and gardens.
दुष्करं कृतवान् रामः समुद्रे सेतुबन्धनम् ।
अकृतं पूर्वकैः कैश्चिद्देवैरपि सदानवैः ॥१४॥

Rama accomplished the extremely difficult task of constructing a bridge across the ocean. This feat had never been achieved before by any predecessors, not even by the gods along with the demons.
रावणश्च दुराधर्षो हतः सबलवाहनः ।

15.
The formidable Ravana was slain along with his army and conveyances. The Vanaras (monkeys) and Ṛkṣas (bears) were brought under control, as were the (rākṣasas) demons themselves.
हत्वा च रावणं युद्धे सीतामाहृत्य राघवः ।
अमर्षं पृष्ठतः कृत्वा स्ववेश्म पुनरानयत् ॥१६॥

16.
After killing Ravana in battle and rescuing Sita, Rama set aside his anger and brought her back to his own dwelling.
कीदृशं हृदये तस्य सीतासंभोगजं सुखम् ।
अङ्कमारोप्य हि पुरा रावणेन बलाद्धृताम् ॥१७॥
अङ्कमारोप्य हि पुरा रावणेन बलाद्धृताम् ॥१७॥

purā rāvaṇena balāt aṅkam āropya hi dhṛtām

17.
What kind of joy (sukha) can be in his heart, arising from union with Sita, who was indeed formerly forcibly abducted by Ravana after he had placed her on his lap?
लङ्कामपि पुनर्नीतामशोकवनिकां गताम् ।
रक्षसां वशमापन्नां कथं रामो न कुत्सते ॥१८॥
रक्षसां वशमापन्नां कथं रामो न कुत्सते ॥१८॥

aśokavanikām gatām rakṣasām vaśam āpannām
aśokavanikām gatām rakṣasām vaśam āpannām
18.
How is it that Rama does not condemn (Sita), even though she was taken back to Laṅkā, resided in the Aśoka garden, and had fallen under the control of the rākṣasas?
अस्माकमपि दारेषु सहनीयं भविष्यति ।
यथा हि कुरुते राजा प्रजा तमनुवर्तते ॥१९॥

19.
Even among us, concerning our own wives, it will become something to be endured. For, just as the king acts, so do the people follow him.
एवं बहुविधा वाचो वदन्ति पुरवासिनः ।

vadanti ca sarveṣu nagareṣu ca janapadeṣu
20.
Thus, the city dwellers utter various words (such as these). And, O King, in all cities and in all regions (janapadas) these words are spoken.
तस्यैतद्भाषितं श्रुत्वा राघवः परमार्तवत् ।
उवाच सर्वान् सुहृदः कथमेतन्निवेद्यताम् ॥२१॥
उवाच सर्वान् सुहृदः कथमेतन्निवेद्यताम् ॥२१॥

rāghavaḥ tasya etat bhāṣitam śrutvā parama-ārtavat
sarvān suhṛdaḥ uvāca etat katham nivedyatām
sarvān suhṛdaḥ uvāca etat katham nivedyatām
21.
Having heard these words of his, Rāghava, appearing extremely distressed, asked all his friends, "How should this be reported?"
सर्वे तु शिरसा भूमावभिवाद्य प्रणम्य च ।
प्रत्यूचू राघवं दीनमेवमेतन्न संशयः ॥२२॥
प्रत्यूचू राघवं दीनमेवमेतन्न संशयः ॥२२॥
22. sarve tu śirasā bhūmāvabhivādya praṇamya ca ,
pratyūcū rāghavaṃ dīnamevametanna saṃśayaḥ.
pratyūcū rāghavaṃ dīnamevametanna saṃśayaḥ.
22.
sarve tu śirasā bhūmau abhivādya praṇamya ca
pratyūcuḥ rāghavam dīnam evam etat na saṃśayaḥ
pratyūcuḥ rāghavam dīnam evam etat na saṃśayaḥ
22.
tu sarve śirasā bhūmau abhivādya ca praṇamya
dīnam rāghavam pratyūcuḥ evam etat saṃśayaḥ na
dīnam rāghavam pratyūcuḥ evam etat saṃśayaḥ na
22.
However, all of them, having saluted and prostrated with their heads to the ground, replied to the distressed Rāghava, "This is certainly true; there is no doubt."
श्रुत्वा तु वाक्यं काकुत्स्थः सर्वेषां समुदीरितम् ।
विसर्जयामास तदा सर्वांस्ताञ् शत्रुतापनः ॥२३॥
विसर्जयामास तदा सर्वांस्ताञ् शत्रुतापनः ॥२३॥
23. śrutvā tu vākyaṃ kākutsthaḥ sarveṣāṃ samudīritam ,
visarjayāmāsa tadā sarvāṃstāñ śatrutāpanaḥ.
visarjayāmāsa tadā sarvāṃstāñ śatrutāpanaḥ.
23.
śrutvā tu vākyam kākutsthaḥ sarveṣām sam-udīritam
visarjayāmāsa tadā sarvān tān śatru-tāpanaḥ
visarjayāmāsa tadā sarvān tān śatru-tāpanaḥ
23.
tadā kākutsthaḥ śatru-tāpanaḥ tu sarveṣām
sam-udīritam vākyam śrutvā sarvān tān visarjayāmāsa
sam-udīritam vākyam śrutvā sarvān tān visarjayāmāsa
23.
Then, Kākutstha, the subduer of foes, having heard the words spoken by all of them, dismissed them all.
